President Herzog shares prayer for Neria Leiter
Israeli President Isaac Herzog issued a statement on Wednesday night offering a prayer for the complete and speedy recovery of Neria Leiter, a reservist soldier who was run over today in a terror attack at the Maccabim checkpoint. Herzog noted that Leiter is the brother of Major Moshe Leiter, of blessed memory, a hero of Israel who fell at the beginning of the Swords of Iron War in Gaza. “We send our wishes for a complete recovery to Neria, and strength to his wife and to his parents, Hannah and Yechiel Leiter, Israel's Ambassador to the United States. Neria is fighting for his life at this very hour, and we will pray for his recovery. We all stand with this dear family and send them our strength," Herzog stated.
